Inventor: DE JARLAIS GEORGE
IPC: G01F7/00
Filed: 2002-06-11
Abstract: A compound meter assembly (10) has a housing (15, 17, 19), a high volume flow meter (14) disposed in a main flow passageway (22) for detecting a flow rate of relatively higher volume flows and a low volume flow meter (12) disposed in the secondary flow passageway (29) for detecting a flow rate of relatively lower volume flows. A flow distributor (70) is disposed in the inlet and disposed adjacent the entrance (27) into the secondary flow passageway from the main passageway, said flow distributor (70) having a central opening (71) for receiving the main flow and having flow ports (72) disposed around its circumference for allowing portions of the main flow to flow towards interior walls (26) of the housing (15, 17, 19) such that the flow is better distributed across a cross section of the main passageway (22) to maintain the accuracy of the meter at a crossover region (61, 62) between low flows being metered by the low volume flow meter (12) and high flows being metered by the high volume flow meter (14).

Title: Function block
Inventor: NAKAYA SHOGO
IPC: H03K19/173
Filed: 2002-06-25
Abstract: A function block allows a multiplier and a multi-input multiplexer to be realized With a small number of blocks. A logical function generator generates a logical output signal from first to fourth logical inputs thereof according to a logical function selected from a plurality of 4-input/1-output logical functions depending on configuration data. A 4-2 carry block generates a 4-2 carry output from the second to fourth logical inputs. A first signal is generated from at least the logical output, a second signal from at least the first logical input, a third signal from at least a 4-2 carry input signal, and a fourth signal from at least the 4-2 carry input signal. A multiplexer selects one of the second and third signals depending on the first signal to produce a carry output signal. An exclusive OR circuit produce an exclusive-ORed result from the logical output and the fourth signal.

Title: Method and apparatus for clamping a printing media
Inventor: LEPPANEN SEPPO ILMARI
IPC: B41J11/06
Filed: 2002-08-09
Abstract: A magnetic clamp for firmly clamping the edge of an imaging media on an imaging bed has one or more magnetic assemblies located in a clamp frame. The permanent magnet material is prevented from contacting the imaging bed surface by pole pieces that protrude past the magnetic material. The pole pieces contact the surface of an imaging bed thus channelling the magnetic flux generated by the perma-nent magnet through the ferromagnetic surface to provide a clamping force. In one embodiment, the magnetic assemblies are slideable in a frame to allow clamping of different thickness media.

Title: System and method for adusting air flow in air seeding applications
Inventor: CRESSWELL MARK
IPC: A01C7/08
Filed: 2002-08-14
Abstract: A system for maintaining an appropriate air flow in an air stream in an air seeder. A fan provides an air stream to carry agricultural materials for distribution across a width of a seeding implement. A tank contains a granular agricultural material and a metering device dispenses the material into the air stream. The system is calibrated such that a known weight of material is dispensed for each revolution of the metering device whereby the rotational speed of the metering device multiplied by the known weight per revolution results in a known per minute rate of agricultural material being dispensed into the air stream. A microprocessor is programmed to derive an appropriate fan speed for the per minute rate of agricultural material being dispensed and send a signal to a fan control to adjust the speed of the fan to correspond to the appropriate fan speed.

Patent CA-2405642-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BASHFORD ANTHONY J
IPC: E05B47/00
Filed: 2002-09-27
Abstract: The electrically-operated door strike provides rapid and easy selection between fail-safe and fail-secure modes. A keeper is pivotably arranged in a housing. To prevent the keeper from pivoting, the keeper has at least one abutment, which a blocking surface or surfaces of a blocking element either contacts (door locked) or does not contact (door unlocked) when the keeper tries to pivot. The blocking element is movable by a solenoid, between a first (unenergized) position and a second (energized) position. The blocking element and solenoid are mounted in a holder, which in turn is slidably mounted in a housing, for movement between one of two holder positions, namely a fail-secure position and a fail-safe position. In the fail-secure position, the blocking surfaces are opposite the keeper's abutments in the unenergized position, and in the fail-safe position the blocking surfaces are opposite the keeper's abutments only when the actuator is energized. A two-position mode selector, accessible from outside the housing and set at the time of installation, establishes which of the two holder positions is used, i.e. whether the strike is installed in fail-safe or fail- secure mode. In the preferred embodiment, the mode selector is an eccentric, rotatable between two positions 180 degrees apart, and having a pin which engages the holder. A latch monitor arm indicates whether or not the door is latched. A lip bracket engages the housing with a saw-tooth feature, and provides for depth adjustment. The keeper and housing are shaped to prevent intrusion.

Patent CA-2411838-A1 (CA)
Title: Protein expression profiling
Inventor: KINGSMORE STEPHEN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-06-20
Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for detecting small quantities of analytes such as proteins and peptides. The method involves associating a primer with an analyte and subsequently using the primer to mediate rolling circle replication of a circular DNA molecule. Amplification of the DNA circle is dependent on the presence of the primer. Thus, the disclosed method produces an amplified signal, via rolling circle amplification, from any analyte of interest. The amplified DNA remains associated with the analyte, via the primer, and so allows spatial detection of the analyte. The disclosed method can be used to detect and analyze proteins and peptides. Multiple proteins can be analyzed using microarrays to which the various proteins are immobilized. A rolling circle replication primer is then associated with the various proteins using a conjugate of the primer and a molecule that specifically binds the proteins to be detectable. Rolling circle replication from the primers results in production of a large amount of DNA at the sites in the array where the proteins are immobilized. The amplified DNA serves as a readily detectable signal for the proteins. The disclosed method can also be used to compare the proteins expressed in two or more different samples. The information generated is analogous to the type of information gathered in nucleic acid expression profiles. The disclosed method allows sensitive and accurate detection and quantitation of proteins expressed in any cell or tissue.

Abstract: In a multiple-user network communication system such as a satellite-based system, or in cable or wireless systems, the system resources, such as bandwidth, code allocation, and or slot timing, are allocated to users based in part on their class of service. The allocation provides for immediate allocation of the requested resources to a user having a verified high class of service so long as the resources are abatable or can be made available by tapping a resource reserve. If only a portion of the requested resources are available, they are made available immediately. From time to time, the resources available to at least one class of service are allocated among the users of that class of service, either equally, equally up to the requested resources, equitably, or in some systematic manner.
